To David's family: I am sorry to hear of David's passing. I met him on a couple of occasions and found him to be a very nice person. My father, who was his uncle, spoke of him and he held him in high regards. May the blessings of our Father be upon you and your family at all times but more especially during this period of time. God bless you all.
